Give 3 examples where women can have iron loss secondary to blood loss or iron loss by the fetus

childbearing & menstruation, & pregnant women

blood loss or RBC DESTRUCTION

Erythropoiesis

there are three stages of iron deficiency anemia. in this stage, the body's iron stores are depleted and erythropoiesis is normal and Hgb content of RBCs are also normal. pt may have few, if any symptoms and some pt may have a vague expression of fatigue.

stage 1 IDA

The way to dignose this stage of IDA is by trial of iron supplement, increase dietary iron intake.

stage 1 IDA

this have a normal life expectancy of a bout 120 days.

RBCs

this may result in postural hypotension, dizziness, weakness, gastritis, irritability, numbness, and lethargy.

severe IDA with Hgb less than 7

in this stage of IDA.
1. Iron transpotationto bone marrow is diminished and iron-deficient erythropoiesis takes place.
2.laboratory values beging to show changes

stage 2 IDA

This stage begins when small hemoglobin-deficient cells enter the circulation in sufficient number and replace normal erythrocytes that have reached maturity and been removed from the circulation.

stage 3 IDA

in this stage, you have a depleted iron store, diminished Hgb production. Hgb levels are now 7 to 11 g/dl, serum levels are low,and that the most stage where you can diagnose IDA.

stage 3 IDA

This is critical component and is recommended in a pregnant womem diet.

folate

this associate with neural tube defects of the fetus and heart desease, several cancers like colorectal cancers ane in older adults

folate and anemia defiency

this is absorbed primarily in the upper intestines then circulate to the liver where is stored.
